Now it's LATE October...new work to show

The upcoming Willow Holiday Art Tour on Saturday, Nov. 18,  has motivated me to glaze...although it be slowly.  Think I already said I did some throwing and handbuilding with stoneware, a white and a brown.  Consequently, the brain seems to work harder in making decisions about which glaze to use where, how to apply it, what combinations would work well together, what kiln settings would be best, etc. For the most part,  I like what was recently unloaded, and am now in the process of glazing for a second glaze firing. New forms as well as new materials keep this hobby interesting. Still grateful for such an engaging hobby and people who love pottery!   Some pieces have already gone to new homes. If there's anything in these photos you'd like to know more about,  just drop me a note:  willowakpottery@gmail.com  and you'll hear from me.  Thanks!

Beautiful Boys in their WillowAK hats I do love seeing my pottery and knitting put to good use.  With permission, I'm sharing a photo of two beautiful boys in Vancouver, BC, sporting their WillowAK hats with porcelain bear and fish buttons. Thanks for the photo, Christina.  It inspired me to make a few more hats similar to these.  The following images are a sampling of work from the most recent kiln firing, plus a few knit items.  Also, fiber artist Joan Edwards will be at WillowAK Pottery on November 18 with some of her beautiful fiber work; it's a treat to have her back visiting in Willow with some totes, bowls, table runners and more available for purchase.  For those new to Willow, this is a self-guided tour.  You learn the location of the three open studios and get yourselves there any time between 10:00 and 5:00 on Saturday, November 18. Check out the many wonderful and unique gifts available in our local studios: Stephanie Richey Art, Scott and Joan's Willow Creek St

The big picture.   Large wood-grained platter 11"x 13.5".     Square plate about 9"x9".     Mugs and more mugs in every kiln load. Pieces with many possibilities. You decide.   Give these handles a try. Gloria likes them! By request, these received large handles. Don? Just a simple little bowl with plenty of uses.
